I'm also going to start going to the gym more often and go running and stuff but all smoking does is just make me lazy and out of breath... Yeah I enjoy it but I figure that if I quit, I may be able to sort my health out...
I'm trying but people just fucking piss me off when they stand around and tempt me, its like they have no respect... |
OMG!! i've had a murmur for... Ummmm.... yeah, i've had it for a hella long time now..... Heh, reminds me of a story........ (yes, i'm gonna type it.)
See, my gram,(insert diety of choice) rest her soul, went to the doc for her 6month. Checked her pulse, responses, listened to her lungs, took her pulse(well, the nurse did that part). Asked how she was doing ect. She told him that she smoked. he told her that her lungs sounded bad, and that she should quit for that reason...
*scene fades to 6 months later*
She's in the doctors exam room, Doc checks everything(as usuall), asks about things, asks if she quit smoking.. She tells him yes, she quit on his advice.. He checks the X-Rays, listens to her breathing, ect., And tells her how her lungs are starting to clear up, and are looking better..... She's glad, and tells him so....
Funny part is.........
I lived with her during that time(it was 10 years later that she passed away)... She had a smoke no less than 30 minutes before seeing the doc!!!!!!!!!!!!
She never quit. She just told him that to appease him...
Hmm, my grandmother started smoking at around 12, died at around 90.. And in her later years smoked the most gawd-awfull brand... Benson&Hedges menthol light 100's *shivers* nasty ones they are....
Makes you wonder if the doctors of an HMO actually look at things, or just hurry things along to get the next hours payment in.....
Yes, i smoke, but i am cutting down. Yes, i agree that you shouldn't start. Yes, i agree that it's bad for you... But hell, i'm a hyperactive adult who doesn't like prescribed drugs to put them in dozy-land...
